Camera: Nikon D70
Lens: Nikon AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5G IF-ED
Location: St. Joseph's Cathedral, Rochester NY

Aperture: f/16
ISO: 200

Date Uploaded: Jun 13, 2005

 Lit by ambient street lighting, and some spots inside the garden. Nothing fancy gear-wise. Post processing included a bit of play with curves and slight noise reduction in the raw converter (Bibble), downsample and final sharpening in GIMP. What you see is pretty close to what came out of the camera.

St. Joseph's Cathedral is the ruin of a church which burned to the ground in the 70's, and the remaining rock walls were retained and interior turned into a small park in downtown Rochester, NY. This particular image came from a night photography I was participating in.

Nice photo. Not sure that it demonstrates darkness.

Interesting photo
Nice movement for the eye, with the arch and the gates suggesting a flattened oval. Also nice use of texture. Hope you win!

nice kind of architecture shot, but doesn't capture `darkness` for me though.
